I see I'm not the only one to use whatever tool works to get the job done.

WOW looking good, Must be a thing about Guys named Steve and machining ability.

I'm jealous, sure wish I could do that... Should have actually went to my metal working class in high school.

This is a very impressive machine Steve, good work.

More impressive machine work from a master. I know what you mean about using whatever works. I very seldom use a boring bar unless I need to go very deep. 2 flute end mill works very nice as a boring bar. Maybe I should be quiet Giving away secrets!!!

Pocketing out spokes


Done


Milling out the front pillow block



Exploded view of parts made so far. Almost complete.

I want to get this part together too. I need to mill some off the ends of the boom chords so the channel that holds the front pillow block sits perpendicular to the centerlines of the taper. I probably could have got that done but I friend stopped last evening to check my progress so we BS'ed for two hours. Next step is to make the 19 sheaves for the suspension ropes.
Hopefully I can get it ready by next month because I want to take the drag to a show.

Just wow. That's looking really cool. It looks so good that it would be a pity to hide it under a coat of paint.

Thanks again you guys. I've been laid up with the flu this week but today I decided to come to work for a while. Nobody knows what to do when I'm gone.

May 6-7-8 2011 International Watch Fob Collectors .http://www.watchfob.com/show.html near the Cleveland Airport . One of the leaders has a open house at his gravel pit on Sunday only.(Not sure if it's open to all.) Near Mantua,Ohio. The pit is real close to the turnpike and if you know where to look you can see part of his pit. Operating 1:1 shovels draglines,dozers, loaders and other machinery. I want to take the dragline and set it up in his shop and dig some sand and gravel. I was trying to do it last year but it rained that weekend and I was still tacking the bucket together and didn't make it.
